Formosa AZ01 tires
Has anyone noticed a lot of road noise coming from the Formosa AZ01 front tires? I have a 2017 RT

Not any more noisier than any other tire I have used. Some roads do appear louder but any tire will too.

Mine are quiet. Are they mounted correctly? They aren't directional but there is an outside and inside.

Wouldn't that be directional if it was marked inside or outside

I've had Formoza's on my Spyder for over a year now and I've not noticed any road noise beyond normal. What I did notice is for a cheap Chinese made tire, they work wonderfully on Spyders. Who knew...

The s Formozas are Asymmetrical not directional. You can rotate them without dismounting

You'll need to flip a directional tire on the rim if you want it to rotate the same (correct indicated) way if you've swapped it from one side to the other.
Agreed, but....Hehe.... Tyres are mostly directional to improve grip and they often have a tread pattern of a V type, kinda like a tractor rear tyre so they work well for traction but if they are mounted on the front axle without a driving force the major traction requirement is braking...should they be mounted backwards...hmmm...

They'll be right at home with all the other chinese made parts on the Spyder.
